Key Trend Reshaping the Plant-Based Food Packaging Market in 2025: Innovative Biodegradable Solutions Revolutionize Plant-Based Food Packaging

What Are the Projections for the Size and Growth Rate of the Plant-Based Food Packaging Market?
The market size for plant-based food packaging has seen a swift expansion in the past few years. The estimates suggest an upsurge from $6.39 billion in 2024 to $7.26 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The notable growth observed in the historic phase can be linked to heightened awareness regarding environmental challenges, rising demand for eco-friendly products, an uptrend in consumer inclination towards sustainable packaging materials, escalating worries about plastic waste, and a surging demand for flexible packaging.

In the following years, a significant expansion is anticipated in the plant-based food packaging market, with predictions stating it will expand to $12.01 billion in 2029, escalating at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. This anticipated surge within the forecasted period can be linked to several factors including an increased emphasis on sustainability from consumers, a rising demand for recyclable and biodegradable items, a heightened desire for environmentally responsible packaging, greater worry about packaging waste ending up in oceans and landfills, and a growth in the adoption of eco-friendly packaging. Key trends that will mark the forecast period include the escalating use of green packaging, elevated demand for paper and paperboard packaging, adoption of innovative packaging with freshness monitoring technology, the implementation of sustainable packaging procedures, and the uptake of biodegradable and compostable packing methods.

What Factors Are Fueling Growth in the Plant-Based Food Packaging Market?
The escalating trend of internet shopping is set to foster the expansion of the plant-based food packaging market. Internet shopping, which involves the purchase of goods and services online, has afforded consumers the comfort of shopping from their homes, thus preventing the need for trips to physical shops. It optimizes time efficiency by providing a swift and simple platform for exploring, comparing, and procuring products. Online customers are increasingly opting for environmentally friendly alternatives, thereby encouraging the suppliers to switch to plant-based packaging that provides customization, convenience, and gives scope for brand uniqueness. For example, in May 2024, the first quarter report by the U.S. Census Bureau, a governmental agency of the United States, showed that e-commerce saw an 8.5% increase from the first quarter of 2023. Concurrently, there was a 2.8% rise in total retail sales within that period. Thus, the rising trend of online shopping is spurring the growth of the plant-based food packaging sector.
